Trivia question

During one of the games in Philadelphia, Len and Bob were talking about how the Phillies had moved the outfield wall in a couple of places. That made me wonder which team was the first to post the distance from the plate on the walls and what its reason for doing so was. It's one of those things you just take for granted and I'd never thought of it before. can't recall ever reading about it or hearing it discussed. Does anyone know the answer? Thanks!

Stumped too…..A wild guess would be that it was started at Yankee Stadium with Babe Ruth…
